# How does post translation work?

### Introduction

Steeple offers a feature for **automatic translation** of Posts and comments. This feature requires a specific subscription.

### How it works

#### Translation of a Post

When the feature is enabled, a translation button appears on Posts written in a language different from the user's.

* The Post is automatically translated into the **user's language** (defined in the account settings)
* The original language of the Post is automatically detected when it is written

#### Translation of comments

Comments can also be translated individually with the same mechanism.

### Supported languages

The translation uses an automatic translation service that supports a wide range of languages. The target language is always the one configured in the user's preferences.

### Prerequisites

* The organization must have the translation subscription
* The user must have a language different from the Post's
